Appendix A: Configuring Your Firewall

Firewalls on your computer can often cause connection problems for network devices
like Squeezebox Boom. While it is not necessary to disable your firewall in order to
allow Squeezebox to communicate with your computer, temporarily disabling it can
be a quick way of diagnosing the problem. If turning off your computer's firewall
allows Squeezebox Boom to connect to SqueezeCenter, you should turn it back on
and configure it to allow communication on the following ports:
• Port 3483 (UDP)
• Port 3483 (TCP)
• Port 9000 (TCP)
Detailed instructions for configuring various firewalls can be found at
www.logitech.com, under Support | Troubleshooting. Select Wireless Music
Systems from the list of product categories.
Note: It is not necessary, or even desirable, to change the firewall settings on your
router to use Squeezebox Boom. Consult a network professional if you are unsure
of how to configure your network properly.
